AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How to attain it when one is completely immersed in the egoself?ย I can behave humble,ย but not feel humble. I want to become humble, develop humility in front of The Divineย ๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿชž๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

Humility comes acceptance and surrender to the Divine. One feels the contact with something immense and infinite, something wonderful and powerful beyond measure and one becomes naturally humble. Reading some of the Scriptures also bring us humility when we see the immensity of Wisdom before us and the mind bows down in natural reverence and humility.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is the penultimate stage of sadhana somewhat like Sri Krishna’s final injunction to Arjuna, sarvadharmanparityajya, to give up all Dharmas and take refuge in Him alone. Give up trying is not same as do not try. It means that one has tried, possibly tried hard but nothing much or at least decisive happened. It is then …

โ€‹As you mentioned that instead of taking scriptures literally, one should understand their true essence, I have one final question in this regard:โ€‹ What is the true spiritual essence or underlying message behind the verse (12.13.13) that speaks of donating the Srimad Bhagavatam on a golden throne on Bhadrapada Purnima? ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿชท๐Ÿ” […]

That is exactly what I am trying to tell you. If we take every verse of the Srimadabhagawatam as if it is originally said and hence to be practiced and followed literally then we fall into the same trap as the Mullahs. Each Scripture has seen additions made by unscrupulous minds for vested personal interests. Srimadabhagawatam is no exception. Do you really believe that after all the beautiful uplifting things spoken of in ..
